Explanation
In Germany, one becomes an adult at the age of 18, meaning they are legally recognized as an adult and take full responsibility for their actions. This is established in the Civil Code (BGB) and includes the right to enter into contracts, vote, and be legally accountable for one's decisions. Reaching adulthood is a significant milestone in the development of personal freedom and legal independence.
